levers Report post Posted October 6, 2015 Very lightly used Remington 788 in 243 Winchester with Weaver 3-9 Marksman scope. It is very nice and looks like it has a very low round count. It has two flaws that I showed in the pictures. It was fitted with a Lyman receiver sight and I believe the stock was notched for the sight. The sight base is still in place. I don't know if but they may have come from the factory with the notch for the sight. Near the buttplate, someone installed a sling swivel and then moved it a little higher on the stock so the old hole is visible. But, it is VERY nice. Located in Tempe. $500 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chief Report post Posted October 10, 2015 I like older rifles, but that hole in the stock is kinda ugly Just one magazine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted October 10, 2015 Rest of it is pretty pristine. Hole is easy to cosmetically repair. I glass bedded the same rifle for my brother-in-law years ago and the 788's have nine lugs and the fastest lock time ever in a production rifle. I have one in 22-250.

levers Report post Posted October 10, 2015 Yes, the hole is a little unsightly but PRDATR said it should be pretty easily to make it look much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
